List<T>.InsertRange Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Inserts the elements of a collection into the List<T> at the specified index.

Namespace:  System.Collections.Generic
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub InsertRange ( _
    index As Integer, _
    collection As IEnumerable(Of T) _
)

public void InsertRange(
    int index,
    IEnumerable<T> collection
)

Parameters

  • index
    Type: System.Int32
    The zero-based index at which the new elements should be inserted.
  • collection
    Type: System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<T>
    The collection whose elements should be inserted into the List<T>. The collection itself cannot be nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), but it can contain elements that are nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), if type T is a reference type.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

collection is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
ArgumentOutOfRangeException

index is less than 0.

-or-

index is greater than Count.

Remarks

List<T> accepts nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) as a valid value for reference types and allows duplicate elements.

If the new Count (the current Count plus the size of the collection) will be greater than Capacity, the capacity of the List<T> is increased by automatically reallocating the internal array to accommodate the new elements, and the existing elements are copied to the new array before the new elements are added.

If index is equal to Count, the elements are added to the end of List<T>.

The order of the elements in the collection is preserved in the List<T>.

This method is an O(n + m) operation, where n is the number of elements to be added and m is Count.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates InsertRange method and various other methods of the List<T> class that act on ranges. After the list has been created and populated with the names of several peaceful plant-eating dinosaurs, the InsertRange method is used to insert an array of three ferocious meat-eating dinosaurs into the list, beginning at index location 3.
